I just said Trout because I think Martinez is wearing out a little now. It would be a good fight. We might be overrating Trout right now.. Which always happens after a win like this.
GL: Other than Canelo, who else is high on your wish list? AT: "I would love to fight Maravilla Martinez. I want to fight the guys that will bring me Pound for Pound status. Of course if the great pound for pound fighter Floyd Mayweather is there. And I'd also love another belt. Bundrage got one, there's a guy from Russia with one. I want the pound for pound guys or another belt." Cannot post the rest, its at Boxingtalk.com website. Trout calling out the Best around his division, now that is what you call a REAL Champion!
I honestly thought Cotto would have pulled it off because of Trout's resume looks so weak compared to Cottos but I liked what i saw in Trout, and now he is ready for more Big Fights.
Martinez by KO. You guys trump up Cotto way too much on here. There is no one in there right mind that is going to argue Cotto hits as hard as Martinez.
Martinez stops Trout. Sergio might not have the best chin, But Austin's punches will make Martinez laugh.
Calling guys out does not mean you're serious about fighting them. Offering them a fight does. Have Goldenboy offered Martinez a fight? They have in their arse, which makes his "calling out" mean **** all.
Trout does have a very good jab and respectable left hand behind it, but I think he was getting stunned by a slow Cotto who was timing him. Trout perhaps too crafty to get ko'd, but once he gets dropped or feels Sergio's power he'll be in a more defensive mode than vs Cotto. Martinez UD12 Trout Trout would have his moments tho.
Trout wasnt really difficult to find for Cotto who is smaller and slower than Martinez. Cotto also did catch Trout with some shots that got his attention. Martinez stops Trout. No shame in that though. This is the best MW in the world and a great one at that. Trout is just not big enough or hit hard enough to even have a chance here.
